Local Riders, Local Races

 

After 10 years  running “Local Riders, Local Races” I have decided to step back. Pretentious reasons like pursuing other projects are half-right but mostly i just want to ride the bike again. Riding the bike gave us the empathy to do it, racing the bike perhaps gave us the credibility  to get away with it. “Local Riders, Local Races” grew from our Bournemouth Echo Cyclesport column, as the paper abandoned cycling Local Riders flourished. The cumbersome name was also the brief, allowing plenty of scope while keeping us in check, no Tour de France reports here, unless, of course someone from the South was riding! We covered road racing, time trials, cyclocross, track racing, mountain bike, paracycling & BMX, reliability trials, training rides, club runs and social riding and always strived to avoid the cliché-rich, weather report style of others, we did not always succeed but we tried. (we also sponsored races, funding prize lists and adding additional prizes) I would like to say a big thank you to Bill Temple at Primera-Sports, who backed us almost from the start and  Chris McNamara & Jon Sharples at Trainsharp   who understood and appreciated what “Local Riders” was about. Thank you also to all the race organisers, clubs and individuals who sent me start sheets, results, reports, news and gossip and also corrected my mistakes. The site will remain and be accessible as an archive/resource and maybe even the odd news item.

Best wishes and see you up the road!

Sotonia CC Club Hill Climb, Results

 

 Dean Hill, Sunday 4th October.

Red Walters (pictured) was a comfortable winner of a wet and windy Sotonia hillclimb in what is thought to be a record time. 20 riders faced timekeeper Dave Crocker for this annual anti-gravity test and Walters was in class of his own, scaling the climb in under 2 minutes.

Salisbury based student, Matthew Bond, finished runner up just in front of a couple of novice riders, Phil Gough and Chris Lynch.
